At least someone has a degree in the Zuckerberg household

Mark Zuckerberg famously dropped out of Harvard to devote his time building a little startup now known as Facebook. So unlike some other big-time Silicon Valley CEOs, he doesn’t have to worry about losing his job over an exaggerated resume.

But at least someone in the Zuckerberg household will be able to hang a new college degree on the wall: Zuckerberg’s longtime girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, graduated Monday from the UCSF School of Medicine. Chan, who plans to be a pediatrician, also earned membership in the national medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha.

Zuckerberg posted this check in on his Facebook wall from the commencement ceremonies in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts: “I’m so proud of you, Dr. Chan : ).”

This is a big week for Zuckerberg. Monday was also his 28th birthday and his company is heading toward a Friday initial public stock offering that could value Facebook at more than $90 billion.

But there was an even bigger celebrity who stood out – literally – from the crowd of graduates, family and friends outside the center after the commencement ceremonies: Hall of Fame basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was there to celebrate the graduation of his son, Amir Abdul-Jabbar, who did his postgraduate training in orthopedic surgery.
